I´ve been trying to execute on Windrop the command "exec netstat -e>>File.txt". I know the command works in windows because i have tested it.

Every command I try to execute I get the error "couldn't create error file for command: no such file or directory while executing".

I already tried:
[eval exec netstat -e>>File.txt]

and

cd "\windows\system32"
exec netstat.exe -e>>File.txt
cd "\windrop"

and

put exec netstat.exe -e>>File.txt inside temp.bat (bat file works)
exec temp.bat

and

exec temp

and

exec <subsitute here any other dos/windows command>

This seems to work, dont understand why.

exec cmd.exe >&@stdout <@stdin /c example.exe

It really does help if the command you are trying to execute is actually in your pathlist which netstat.exe isn't. cmd.exe is always set in your pathlist upon Windows installation.

Kind of an old thread but I encountered this problem tonight and wanted to post my fix, as it took some pouring through the Windrop sourceforge forums. I was having this problem on Vista64 and XP32-SP3, so I do not believe it is permissions or PATH issue ([file executable notepad.exe] will return 0 even if it is in your path anyway, I don't think Tcl takes into account env(PATH)?). Basically the problem is kind of with Tcl 8.5.

The easiest way to fix an [exec] / [open] issue that I have currently found for Windrop, is to downgrade to Windrop 1.6.17.

Then download ActiveState Tcl 8.4.9.1 @ http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/Windows/8.4.9/ActiveTcl8.4.9.1.139183-win32-ix86.exe.

• Install ActiveTcl and go into the bin/ folder of the installation.
  
• Copy tcl84.dll into your Windrop folder.
  
• Delete libtcl8.4.dll
  
• Rename tcl84.dll to libtcl8.4.dll
